Ester Myling is a dark beauty living the life of her dreams and nightmares. 

As a Luminatrix - an elite-level scientist from planet Hjulder - she makes frequent travels to Earth to obtain data through secret human interactions. Always an enchantress, she wields her magic to get into the heads and under the skins of her subjects.

Ester’s job affords a celebrity lifestyle and a castle deep in the forest of her home planet, but success comes at a significant cost. As she embroils herself in the psychological and supernatural demons of her subjects, all parties involved are faced with the challenge of deconstructing their perceptions and reimagining the metrics of reality, desire, and self-identity.

Conjuring elements of fantasy, gothic horror, and historical fiction, The Secret North is a tale of loss, redemption, and growth amid intersectional factors of race, gender and ideology.
